Panel recommends expanding IT council role to advise on AI effects
Summary
Senate Bill 657 would expand the Information Technology Council's responsibilities to include advising on artificial intelligence impacts and authorize an advisory commission; the committee voted 9–0 to recommend passage after DOIT indicated no objection to the concept.
Chair opened a work session on Senate Bill 657, which would expand the Information Technology Council's responsibility to advise the Department of IT on the effects of artificial intelligence and authorize an advisory commission on the issue.
A member moved to recommend the bill; the sponsor said he consulted Dennis Goulet of DOIT, who had no objection to the bill's concept but noted legislative intent could be challenging. The sponsor described the issue as complex and worthy of review. The Legislative Budget Assistant reported no fiscal impact to DOI or the state.
After brief discussion, the clerk recorded a 9–0 roll‑call recommendation to pass (OTP). The committee closed the executive session and advanced SB 657 with no recorded amendment.
